Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PEWAG from 3G Electric.
What are the working load limits available for PEWAG Grade-80 lifting chains?
PEWAG Grade-80 lifting chains supplied by 3G Electric have working load limits of 3,500 lb, 7,100 lb, and 12,000 lb. These correspond to trade sizes of 9/32 in, 3/8 in, and 1/2 in, respectively. The working load limit is the maximum load the chain is designed to support in a straight pull, and it should not be exceeded. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications and applicable safety standards for proper use.
What is the difference between PEWAG Grade-80 and Grade-100 lifting chains?
Grade-80 and Grade-100 refer to the chain's minimum breaking strength relative to its size. Grade-100 chains have a higher strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for smaller and lighter chains for the same load compared to Grade-80. PEWAG manufactures both grades. The Grade-80 chains listed by 3G Electric are suitable for many overhead lifting and rigging applications. Selection between grades depends on load requirements, weight considerations, and applicable regulations.
Can PEWAG lifting chains be used for towing applications?
PEWAG Grade-80 lifting chains are commonly used for overhead lifting, rigging, and towing. However, towing imposes dynamic loads that can exceed the working load limit. It is essential to assess the specific towing application and ensure the chain's capacity is adequate. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations and relevant safety guidelines for towing.
What are the trade sizes and part numbers for PEWAG Grade-80 chains from 3G Electric?
3G Electric supplies PEWAG Grade-80 lifting chains in trade sizes 9/32 in (part numbers SA7/5 and SA7/40), 3/8 in (SA10/10, SA10/30, SA10/7), and 1/2 in (SA13/25, SA13/7, SA13/50). These part numbers indicate specific configurations. For a complete list of available sizes and part numbers, refer to the product listings or contact 3G Electric.
Are PEWAG chains compliant with industry standards?
PEWAG chains are manufactured to meet relevant industry standards, such as EN 818 for lifting chains. However, compliance can vary by product and application. It is the responsibility of the user to verify that the selected chain meets the required standards for their specific use. 3G Electric can provide available documentation upon request.
